I spent the afternoon enjoying La Jolla yesteray. I went to see my hairdresser in La Jolla Shores and it was such a beautiful day I decided to take pictures. I walked down to Scripps Pier on the beach and then walked back past La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club. I ate lunch at the local deli and enjoyed the sunshine sitting outside working on my laptop! Ahhh, this is why I moved here from Dallas 11 years ago! I met a friend for happy hour at The Spot on Prospect St. and took some pictures in front of Jose's and bought a book at Warwick's on Girard.

One of my friends just e-mailed me this article from Forbes. I love the fact that San Diego is mentioned in the article since we were one of the first markets to suffer. Check out what Forbes had to say- Markets are efficient and participants in the housing market are well aware of its problems, so we believe these prices already reflect the "shadow inventory" of foreclosures and short sales in the pipeline. Buyers and sellers are not blind, they don't have to wait to see homes pop up on the MLS to factor them into the price they are willing to bid or ask. That's why in the past three months some of the places with the largest excess inventories have seen the biggest gains in prices, including San Diego, Phoenix and Las Vegas.
